Changing the Paradigm of Life: New Answers to the Old Questions

What is Life - really?

This book dares to reframe that timeless question by exploring the very foundations of Reality itself. Through a bold philosophical lens, the author examines every phenomenon of existence from two opposing but complementary views: metaphysical Realism and Antirealism. Reality, he argues, is dual in nature-both objective and subjective- and any attempt to understand it using only one side leads to an incomplete, distorted picture.

From this foundation, the book unfolds into a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be alive. It proposes that:

• Every living entity must possess a sense of Me and recognize the Not-Me
• Life evolves through the unresolved dialectical contradiction between subjectivity and objectivity
• The nature of Life is hierarchical; it consists of levels, with each higher level of the hierarchy standing on the shoulders of the lower one
• Cognition is constrained by a being's hierarchical level in Life's structure
• Death affects only the outermost layer of Life's hierarchy, while inner levels may endure
• ...and many other fascinating insights

Ultimately, the book arrives at a profound and provocative conclusion:

There is no such thing as "living" or "non-living" Matter - only Subjective Entities evolving in an endless interaction hierarchy. This groundbreaking insight forms the core of a new worldview the author calls the Paradigm of the Great Life.

The final chapters examine how this new paradigm might reframe some of modern science's biggest questions - from quantum mechanics to the mysteries of astrophysics.

If you've ever questioned the boundaries between consciousness, reality, and the universe, this book offers a bold new way of seeing everything.
